Ameloblastomas of the jaws

The treatment of these tumours by conservative methods was discussed and four illustrative case records presented (AU)

Osteomyelitis and fibrous dysplasia of the jaw in the negro (abstract only)

During the last three years six cases of Sclerosing Osteomyelitis of the jaws came under observation. They showed clinically and rontgenologically a uniform picture of sclerotic areas in the mandible and sequester formation. The cases described in the literature and all our cases are negroes, women and fortyfive (45) years old and older. No general disease as cause could be found - sickle cell anaemia was excluded. The histo-pathological survey by John Arneaud points out similarities with Fibrous Dysplasia and the possibility of these lesions being different stages of the same process (AU)
